so i& #39;ve been thinking. it& #39;s nice that young black characters are designed with cute lil afro puffs but its def not the only style we wear as kids?
chunky twists yall!!!! that was the go-to-style for a LOT of us
if ur mom had the patience for it, you& #39;d get the fancy braids with the beads lol
box braids if your hair was long enough (or if ur mom was cool wit fake hair)
and cornrows and bantu knots...the list goes on
these are our hairstyles!!! I& #39;ll admit, I& #39;ve defaulted to doing fros and afro puffs. Those styles are important too! but I think these are so universal in our experiences as being young black children that they also deserve representation in cartoons!
